# How do I add a specific Method Statement template to a job?

Learn how to assign a predefined Method Statement to a job so your operational process is clearly documented and consistent.

When you want to **add a specific method statement to a job** in Dronedesk, the process is straightforward.

If you’re **creating a new job**, go to the **New Job** form. You’ll see a field labeled **Method Statement**. Click the dropdown and select the appropriate method statement template for the job. For example, if you have four templates set up, simply choose the one that best applies. In this case, we’ll select the **Base** method statement.

That’s all there is to it when setting it during job creation.

If you’re working with an **existing job**, click **Edit Job**, then scroll down to the **Method Statement** section. You’ll notice a warning here:

> _Changing the method statement template will delete and replace the existing method statement on this job._

This means that if the method statement has already been edited by the **pilot or admin**, any customisations or changes will be **overwritten** when you switch templates and save the job.

Be sure to consider this before making changes to the method statement on an existing job.
